Browsing these forums with the iPad - Safari Crashes

Has anyone noticed less occurance of Safari crashing when browsing these forums and upgrading to iOS 5? I haven't done so yet, and it seems my iPad crashes Safari a lot even after emptying cookies, cache and history and browsing these forums under 3G. Currently on iOS 4.3.1 on first generation 64 GB iPad.

I haven't had any trouble with Safari myself (iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1) but I admit I don't use it that much because I really don't like it. I've found iCab Mobile to be an all around superior browser. I have certainly seen more than one post about Safari crashing, though.

What's with the iPad 2 Crashes

I don't know whether this is an iPad 2 issue, an iOS update issue or both, but it is driving me a little crazy. Programs, YouTube, Safari are all crashing to the desktop. It isn't like it happens every 30 sec., but 15 to 20 times a day, my iPad 2 reverts to the desktop. There isn't enough specific repetition to say it's a certain Location where it occurs. There is one website, www.gelaskins.com, that is guaranteed to crash when I scroll thru it's pages looking at skins for my iPad. I have soft reset the device several times. The iPad 2 is awesome, which makes this glitch more infuriating.

Today, a Genius at my Apple Store fixed two major things for me that two calls to Apple Care didn't come close to fixing. Hunter at Flatirons Crossing Apple looked in my settings, turned off all the things that were checked under Spotlight Search, and it hasn't crashed since. The other was helping me to get back my lost data after Restore that was threatening my quality of life!! Thanks, Hunter!!

Detect Safari browser close with the iPad 3

Detect browser close with the iPad 3
We have a web site being used on the iPad 3 through Safari.
Our web site is used in a public setting and multiple users login to use it at different times. We have a questions about user account security.
When a signed in user clicks the home button on the iPad , which minimize Safari and returns them to the home screen, can the user be signed out of our web site? We don’t want someone else to come and open the Safari browser and have access to the previous user's account information. Is there a client-side event that is triggered that we can handle so we can log the user out of the site?

Is the iPad shared by everyone at this public setting?
There is currently no way to handle different users on the iPad (or any iOS device).
They are designed as single user devices.
If your company is eligible for an Enterprise account, then you could write an app that could handle clearing user credentials but not in the current "normal" environment.

Try any or all of these standard fixes.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data or Cache. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit Safari. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.

I've heard there have been problems with the IPAD 2 and verizon 3 G have these been corrected? I'm about to buy an IPAD and there are more verizon versions available than AT

I'm about to purchase and IPAD 2 and the net seems full of comments about problems with the IPAD2 3 G and verizon service? Is this still an issue and if so
how bad? AT&T version is very hard to find, should I get the Verizon or wait?

You need to remember that these forums are like an emergency room. All the gazillions of well people don't visit the ER. Only sick people.
Same thing for this forum. Some people had problems activating their iPad 2 with Verizon. Most didn't and certainly wouldn't post here.
I would not use this as a consideration in which iPad to buy. Rather I would consider whether I might be traveling outside the US with the iPad 2. If you are, then you most certainly need the AT&T (GSM) version if you want to be able to access data without using WiFi. The Verizon iPad has no SIM card, and the technology it uses is pretty much limited to the USA.

How do I know if the safari browser is closed on the iPad?

How do I know if the safari browser is closed on the iPad?

This is what I was told:
Double tap the home key...press and hold the icon...when the minus appears on the icon, tap the minus.
This will delete the aforementioned icon from the task bar. When the icon disappears, the browser, or any app, is then closed.
Is that correct?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The ipad safari on facebook will echo characters on the search feature. Please fix this STUPID error! At the least, investigate it and come to a suitable response. Stupid things like this are making me lose faith and interest in Apple products.

This is a user Forum, No one here works for Apple.
If you can be a bit more clear with what your problem is, maybe someone here can help you find a solution.

Does anyone have trouble with the iPad booting you off of the internet? I will be in the middle of something (i.e. Facebook), and it boots me out and I have to sign in again.

Don't confuse the threads here with 'typical' experience. Most of the stuff here is from brand new users, and those that have problems, and considering the 30 million pads in use, represent a very small sliver.
If you are having repeated crashes it is really pretty basic. You either have a physical problem with your pad, or you are using too much memory.
The iOS system is supposed to monitor memory, and shut down previously used apps automatically to free up memory for what you are doing now. That part of ios is not perfect, and if an app introduces an unexpected memory load, sometimes it gets over whelmed.
This happens, more often than not, when using safari with multiple windows open on graphic intense sites. It can also happen with a memory intensive game, and residual apps in the background.
Double tap the home key and take a peek at the recently used list, and shut them down completely, and often the problem goes away.
If the problem persists, you may have a software issue, and a trip to the genius bar may be in order.

Unable to sync or backup my iPad2 with the new iTunes. I keep getting the error ""iTunes could not back up the iPad because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPad.". I've deleted all the old backups but still get this.

I'm totally frustrated by iTunes and don't know how to solve my problem. Like a lot of people on here I'm not able to sync or back up my iPad2 with my iTunes (version 10.4.1.10). I'm running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. My iTunes worked just fine until the 10.4.xx updates came out and since June I've not been able to back up or sync the iPad2.
When I connect and try to sync I get the error message, “iTunes could not back up the iPad because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPad.”
I've deleted all the old backups so there are none on my system. I've deleted iTunes and re-installed the 64bit version several times but it has not made any difference. I've read and followed several suggestions on these boards about how to remove and reinstall everything but none have worked yet. I'm stumped here.

I had the exact same thing with my shuffle - same error message saying that it was corrupt so I restored it (wiping everything in the process) and the same message came up as soon as it reloaded. Thank god I didn't try it with my iPod or iPhone first. So many issues with this new version of iTunes!!!!!!!!

I've become increasingly frustrated with the ipad adobe app. I've subscribed to be able to convert my pdf files into word documents and it has yet to work I've paid for a service that does not work which in turn makes me a disgruntled customer to say the least very disappointed with such horrible service

Which service did you subscribe to? Adobe PDF Pack?
Once I know the service that you subscribed to, I can move this post to the right forum so that you can get in touch with the folks who can assist you.

Can you use IMAP with the ipads mail feature?

Can you use IMAP with the ipads mail feature?

Kappy,
Yes, our domain and email accounts are on a server that does accept IMAP. Also, our mac mini and imacs are all set up for IMAP. Buying an ipad will enable me to work from home during this winter.
Another ?: do you know if you can use text edit with the iPads mail feature? Reason being we have about 100 generic emails that all we have to do is change a few fields before sending out. Can this be integrated in without having to recreate all these messages?

MMy iPad mini keeps freezing up on me. Is there something wrong with the iPad? It freez a lot when I'm playing the big fish casino game. What can be done to fix this?

Hello there Lsu70,
If your app is rendering the iPad unresponsive, I would recommend you use the troubleshooting in this article to help get that resolved, named:
iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open
Start with these steps, but there are additional things to do if these do not resolve the issue:
Follow the steps below and test the app after each step.Restart the app
Close the app and open it again.Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.Update your device software and your apps
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
Update your apps:
Open the App Store and tap Updates.
If updates are available, tap Update All.
If asked, enter your Apple ID password. The updates will download and install.
You might need a Wi-Fi connection to update some apps.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling
